Claymore 2014 - early report

Am just back from Claymore 2014, had a nap and me tea and counted some pennies.

My feet are screaming at me.

I was running a stall in support of my friends charitable donation.

The penny sum came to £1165 and some pennies or was it £1156 and some pennies. I'll have to count it again and my feet are saying 'do that tomorrow'.

I've checked my immediate playing chums and they do not have it either.

Sorry, can't help any more with that.

I am planning to develop a webfriends WW2 rules with my 10mm stuff which are conceptually quite different from Rapid Fire but yes I could do, and have done so already, play Rapid Fire in scales other 1/72nd.

I'm also more interested in minimising in some way my extensive collections to avoid the situation where someone else has to sort out my stuff when I've gone and take forever to do so. I'll still have a lot left.

I think I glimpsed you from behind, at a distance, very briefly, or maybe it was Tom Cruise. No, it can't have been Tom Cruise, he told me has was going straight to the pub!

Hugh is a great lad, I don't think I would have got as far as I have with the charitable donation without the fantastic support that Hugh has given me.

Keep an eye on my blog. I'm hoping to start some genuine thinking about how I want my 10mm WW2 battles to look. I'll probably go with hexes, Hexon II or Heroscape, multiple figure bases with markers or single figures; platoons, companies, battalions or brigades? I think my head will hurt for a while, make a change from my feet.
